We believe in lifelong learning. That is why we offer our alumni short-term training courses to refresh and deepen their professional knowledge. We continuously enhance interactions among former and current students for the purpose of career exploration.

Alumni talks

We regularly invite our alumni to host talks at GISMA so they can share their professional and personal experience with our current students. Alumni talks contain crucial information on job markets and insider hints relating to recruitment possibilities. What is more, they are a perfect opportunity to extend professional networks for both our current and former students.
